Post by ZOOK60 »

Mine is butted up to the existing frame end so I guess it follows the rail downwards.

Some of the setups on Pirate extend parallel to the ground it think - but we're talking about some pretty long extensions too.

Big Steve's extension is only 100mm.

Is the spring mount moved forward a full 100mm .. I thought that most of em were only 75mm ??

he overall effect on handling would be pretty minimal (you may loose a degree or two still is is nothing that could not be fixed with some small degree wedges)
